Sinopsis de BIG BROTHER
The new novel from the Orange Prize-winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin. Pandora has looked up to her older brother Edison since they were children. Now she revels in the anonymity of her suburban Iowa life, while her brother basks in the limelight as a New York jazz musician. But when Edison arrives in Iowa, suddenly in need of a place to stay, Pandora literally doesn't recognize him. The once slim, hip pianist has gained hundreds of pounds. What happened? Soon Edison's appalling diet and know-it-all monologues are driving Pandora and her husband Fletcher insane. And it's only a matter of time before Fletcher delivers his wife an ultimatum, it's him or me. With Shriver's distinctive wit and ferocious energy, Big Brother not only examines why we overeat, but asks more pressingly still: just how much should you sacrifice for someone who refuses to be saved?
1 reseñas sobre el libro BIG BROTHER
Solo en las primeras páginas parece un poco sosa, pero de pronto la magia de esta autora hace su efecto y te compromete por completo. Es el tercer libro que leo de ella y otra vez, pese a tratarse de un tema totalmente diferente, sentí una mezcla de angustia y curiosidad, durante todo la lectura y sus vueltas de tuerca. Un buen análisis del culto al cuerpo, las inseguridades y las complicadas relaciones familiares.
